So I've been trying to listen to more technoish (not sure this is the correct word to describe it) music lately. I finally came across an album that I absolutely love, but am having a lot of trouble finding anything similar to it. The album is Röyksopp's Junior album. I've tried listening to their other albums, but they just don't do it for me. I've also tried using Pandora and Last.FM, but since I can't specify the album from the band they haven't done me much good. I guess the main thing I like about the album are the nice upbeat songs with the female vocalists. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for some of the more psychedelicish (I'm not even sure if that's the right word to describe it) music that has some awesome harmonies (not required, but would be nice) as well. Some of the bands that I've found that I've liked are Dr. Dog, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Fleet Foxes, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Rose Elinor Dougal. I went through some of the indie folk thread as well since I saw that one or two of the bands that I listed were posted in there, but I wasn't able to find much that I liked. Any help would be appreciated  .edit: To give some more information, some more bands that I really enjoy are Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Byrds, Os Mutantes, Janis Joplin, etc.

Ras Het posted:El Guincho, Caetano Veloso's first two self-titled albums, Erkin Koray's "Electronic Turkuler", Edip Akbayram's first s/t, The Edge: David Axelrod at Capitol Records 1966 to 1970, Nino Ferrer's "Métronomie", The Dø, Gang Gang Dance's latest album, Telepathe's LP, Dr John's first couple of albums. Thanks for the recommendations! After listening to a couple of songs from each of those the only ones that I liked were Telepathe and Dr. John. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

greazeball posted:I've started listening to Marty Robbins recently and that got me back into my Johnny Cash albums and a couple of compilations of old-time mountain music and outlaw songs. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you might want to look at Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, David Allan Coe, Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, Jerry Jeff Walker, and a couple of others that I'm sure that I missed.

What are some people who do good spoken poetry or something along the lines of The Doors' An American Prayer?

What are some bands that have very organ themed songs like The Doors or The Animals (in House of the Rising Sun), etc.? edit: I also should have added that the more psychedelic sounding it is, the better. Koaxke fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jan 14, 2012 |

Ehud posted:I love this song by Frog Eyes. Captain Beefheart has already been recommended, but if you check him out definitely grab the album Trout Mask Replica. Another person that you may enjoy is Frank Zappa. If you check him out I would grab We're Only in it for the Money.

Selavi posted:I'm guessing you already know Fly Like and Eagle? While I do enjoy some Steve Miller, I'm not a big fan of that song. I hadn't really listened to Sly and the Family Stone, and while I like it it's not very organ centered. Thanks for the new artist though.

What are some experimental/avant garde albums that are similar to Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica and Frank Zappa's We're Only in it for the Money? Also, I'm still looking for psychedelic sounding bands that have a good organist (possibly with classical training?) such as The Doors and West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. edit:The Doors != The Door's Koaxke fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 15, 2012 |

Rollersnake posted:Have you listened to The Residents? The Third Reich 'n Roll is a great starting point if you enjoyed the satirical aspect of Zappa and want to hear '60s radio rock chewed up and spat out in a hilarious fashion. Duck Stab/Buster and Glen is probably their peak as an avant garde band. I'm also partial to the dark storytelling albums they did later in their career, like God in Three Persons and The River of Crime. I checked out Frumpy, but I couldn't get past the singer's voice. I don't know what it is about it, but I don't like it  .

I found what I was looking for. If anyone is interested check out The Graham Bond Organization, especially the album The Sound of '65.

Meeks Sisu posted:Looking for some recommendations for rock music that has diverse instrumentation (like strings, piano, and horns). Something in the vein of Arcade Fire or The Protomen to name two bands that I've enjoyed recently. While these may be a bit older than the bands that you listed, The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers and The Doors' The Soft Parade both have rather diverse instrumentation in their songs.

Farts Domino posted:.....why would you respond with a recommendation for a genre you only know one artist of? Why would you post something in a recommendation thread that doesn't ask for or provide recommendations, or add anything of value to the thread? For content, what are some more afrobeat bands such as Fela Kuti? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I'm still in search of artists that are similar to Captain Beefheart. I really enjoy the style Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby, but haven't been able to find anything similar to either of them outside of Zappa and Beefheart. Anyone know of anything else that I should check out?

Silver Alicorn posted:Looking at the music I have now, I still kinda dig Yes, especially Close to the Edge. I like the Beatles but I've heard all their music so much it's not that interesting now. Same for Pink Floyd, and the Shins (though I might like their new album). I also like a lot of jazz and swing music in general, but I don't know where to start with that. If you enjoy the psychedelicy style of The Beatles and Pink Floyd you could try checking out The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Procol Harum, Cream, Country Joe and The Fish, and Moby Grape. As far as jazz/swing style I can't be as helpful without more knowledge of the styles that you enjoy, but some solid artists that never fail to impress are Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and John Coltrane. Do you have a specific style of jazz that you prefer?

Silver Alicorn posted:Another thing I'm looking for though is recent acts that sort of fall into the same zone - I ran across Beardfish in the prog rock thread and they're pretty much what I mean, long-form music with balanced and varied sound, but more modern. I don't want to end up thinking that music stopped being good after 1979! Try Dr. Dog (specifically the album Fate!), Tame Impala, and Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground (their first album is their best imo). edit: Another solid jazz recommendation is Charles Mingus.
